That's not what Daniel is asking for. The diff algorithm tries to find blocks of lines that are common to both files/buffers and are either unchanged or that differ in some small way. It tries to align and compare those lines to show what actually changed. Vim does a fairly good job of that, especially with the EnhancedDiff plugin and the PatienceDiff algorithm. But sometimes the algorithm can't correctly identify or align those blocks and the result is a mess. It would be nice to be able to be able to help the algorithm by telling it that some pairs of lines in the two buffers are actually the same lines but with some differences.
